      It's also literally the opposite of what was intended with the original nuzlocke concept.

Jan's a very talented player but he's kinda missed the core theme behind nuzlocking.

    Watching the stream and then watching 8:50 was genuinely really educational because we saw him, on stream, do a second take to get the "what if we had quick claw" line and I had no idea how he was going to integrate it. Using the first take, cutting to a closeup to Jan's face, and then cutting back to the full shot to the second take was such a good idea (and it was so well done in this video!)
    I've just been starting to edit my own videos and I really struggle with how to stitch together shots nicely and choosing what to leave on the cutting room floor. This entire video is surprisingly educational, but this moment really stood out to me! Thanks for making this!!!

      Alpharad also uses a lot of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon music for emotional moments, especially recently. For example, at about 7:08 the song playing is from PMD Explorers of Sky. I think it's either Never Forget, or I Don't Want To Say Goodbye. Either way, great songs and (in my opinion) great games.
      The songs were done with the DS soundfont in mind, but you can find a lot of midis and other conversions/covers of the songs on youtube to fit more into a playlist of music.

    running on pure comedic faith that he actually just unsubscribes every time he does a reaction and then once the camera is off he resubscribes

    This is a masterclass documentary about an amazing rivalry that will be preserved throughout the years. (From, a fellow subscriber to this channel.)

    This is just going to turn into a infinite reaction loop, and I am all for it

      I remember watching a recursive reaction video loop where Jesse Cox and Crendor got about 6-7 layers deep of reactions. It started with Crendor making some blog style videos, then Jesse made reaction video to a group of them, then Crendor made a reaction to Jesse's reaction video, then Jesse made a reaction to Crendor's reaction, and so on for several videos. It was quite scuffed by the end because each reaction added another person taking and responding to the previous versions and also another face cam that needed to be moved around on the screen during the video

    This video has the amazing ability of not feeling 30 minutes long. It's punchy, hits all the important points, reveals behind the scenes info, is funny and is just generally very carefully made and I give mad props to the 'rad man. Top quality stuff.
